Getting to Cargèse Ajaccio is the nearest airport to Cargèse and is connected by several daily flights to Paris and other European cities. Please visit the Ajaccio airport website for a list of airlines serving the area. For other means of traveling to Cargèse visit the town's webpage. There will be a bus arranged for the Workshop taking participants from the Ajaccio airport to Cargese. The bus will leave the airport at 6:00PM on sunday the 11th, after the arrival of the Air France flight AF4502 from Paris (the bus will wait for this flight), please try to schedule your flights accordingly. The bus trip lasts one hour. There will be a bus back from Cargese to Ajaccio airport at the end of the Workshop on saturday the 17th leaving Cargèse at 8AM (arriving at the airport at ~9AM). A second bus with a later departure can be scheduled if there is a significant demand (this will be sorted a few weeks prior the workshop). Alternatively Cargèse can be reached by public bus and by taxi. The bus station, which is also the maritime station, can be reached via shuttle from Ajaccio airport. Taxi service from the airport to Cargèse costs approximately 90 euros for normal transfer and 115 euros for early, late and non working day transfer and takes less than one hour. To ensure this price, one needs to reserve the taxi in advance through the I.E.S.C. Advise The institute is right on the sea, and there is a short walk to the village (~20 minutes). There is no light at night on this path, it is therefore not a bad idea to bring a flash-light.
